There are already more than enough reasons to envy Olympic athletes--fame, talent, glory, lucrative endorsement deals, gold medals--but now you can add their wardrobe to the list!

It was just announced this morning in the pages of WWD that Adidas, the official sportswear sponsor of the 2012 London Olympic games, has chosen Stella McCartney as creative director--and she'll be dressing the British team for the competition. It's definitely not her first foray into sportswear--she's been designing capsule collections known as Adidas by Stella McCartney since 2005--but she said this is both an honor and a challenge. "As a British fashion designer it is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be creative director of Team GB as the hosting nation of the London 2012 Olympic Games," she said. She also told Vogue UK that she faces "a million challenges" in dressing the athletes for the games.

"The main thing I want do is not in any way get involved with making their performance not its best," she said. "So for me I want to make them the best they can be. I have to make it look good on TV, I have to make it feel good for the athletes, I have to make it work - technically it has to do its job. But I think they're all good challenges - I like a challenge."
